The morning before last one of our pumps that keep salt water flowing to the lobster tanks shit the bed. It’s great to have places like Rose’s Marine where you know you can go and get what you need in marine industrial applications.

We use pacer pumps because the housings and impellers are made from hard plastic and are not prone to corrosion the way the old cast iron pumps were. Rose’s had the pump in stock and set up with a three phase motor ready to swap right out for us.
While there I talked to Marty and Frank. Marty had Frank come right over to our dock to get some measurements for a new intake with footvalves. Within an hour Frank had a whole new foot valve put together and clamped to teh hose and we were back in business.
You can’t begin to imagine what a resource a place like Rose’s is in our town and how they keep the wheels spinning. Without the knowledgeable and friendly staff our town wouldn’t be nearly as accommodating to visiting vessels and home port vessels alike.
